One of these words or compounds is "Teb tengri" which has been used in different texts as Bot Tengri. In this study, the descriptive-analytical method and corpus stylistics (especially in the analysis of mentioned narration) are adopted to analyze “tengri” and “teb/bot tengri” especially in Mongolian and Chinese languages and the narrations related to these words. The first part of this word combination should be read as "teb", which in the Mongolian language is a prefix meaning exaggeration and it can be seen in other words. The combination of "teb Tangri" is known as the special title of one of the Shamans with whom Genghis Khan strengthened the foundations of his power. When Genghis Khan becomes stronger, he killed Shamans. It can be said that among the Persian historical texts, the Vassaf’s history has presented a narration with the most elements related to the beliefs of the Shamans. Introduction The Mongol invasion, next to its very destructive effects, led to many exchanges, including cultural exchanges between East and West. In a stylistic context, the cultural effects of this incident are manifested in linguistic structures that are not normally separated from intellectual structures, especially in words and lexical structures. One of the salient effects of the Mongol invasion was the spread of the Turkish language, especially Mongol Turk, in Iran, in the sixth century. There exist some common words in Persian language with Mongolian root. Among such words, the word "Tengri" can be mentioned, which is not very problematic in terms of meaning. There is no special semantic ambiguity, but this word is a combined word. It has been recorded in Persian texts in different forms, like "Teb/Bot tengri", "TebetTengri" and "Teb". The exact phonetic pronunciation of the word is not found in dictionaries. The narratives themselves have used "Teb Tengri or Bot Tengri" which are either disturbed or repetitive. In this study, while focusing on the readings of this word and its correct pronounciation, we have assessed the first part of the combination and criticized its forms according to some sources in Mongolian and Chinese. We have assessed the narrations that deal with the story of "Teb Tengri/Bot" in the form of historical figures, and have determined their metamorphoses. Methods and Materials By adopting a descriptive-analytical method, first, the composition of "Teb Tengri or Bot Tengri" in Chinese and Mongolian texts from the perspective of phonetic and lexical structure is assessed and next, its application in different texts of Persian prose and poetry is analyzed to allow the review and criticism of the narration related to this structure in six texts of Persian prose. Discussion and Conclusions In the famous book of Mongolian grammar, there are grammatical rules for some Mongolian words, which by exaggerating the teb (teb) as a prefix, the meaning of the word is exaggerated. The function of the prefix "teb" is to exaggerate the meaning. The "Teb" in the word "Teb Tengri" is subject to the same rule, which can be translated as "divinity" or "drowning in God". The literal translation of Teb Tengri, according to the structural rules of the Mongolian language, can be considered an extraordinary task. The combination of "Teb Tengri", which is one of the two components of "Teb" for exaggeration in the Mongolian language, and "Tengri" meaning God and collectively meaning "immersed in God", in Persian texts is often referred to as "Tengri Bot". Based on linguistic and historical evidence, this usage is completely incorrect. By combining different texts, it can be said that the combination of "Tengri Teb" was the title for one of the famous Mongol shamans who was very deceitful and Genghis used his position and of course his deception in his participation in the government structure, with complicity. He draws a heavenly position for himself among the simple-hearted people, and Tengari Teb justifies his actions. But when he sees that Genghis does not involve him in the government and does not give him a share, he opposes him. Eventually, Teb Tengri is killed by Genghis Khan (son, brother, or one of his relatives). Among Persian texts, the narration of the Vassaf's History is considered to be the closest to the main narration due to having most of the features related to shamans. با حملة مغولان به ایران بسیاری از واژه‌های آنان وارد زبان فارسی شد؛ اما کاربرد نادرست این واژه‌ها، بی‌قیدی کاتبان و بی‌توجهی به زمینة متن موجب کژفهمی و اشتباهات آشکار در این حوزه شده است؛ افزون‌بر واژگان، چه‌بسا روایت‌های مرتبط با برخی از آنها نیز دستخوش تغییرات و دگرگونی‌های اساسی شده است. یکی از این واژگان یا ترکیبات «تب تنگری» است که در متون مختلف به‌صورت «بت تنگری» به کار رفته است. با وجود برخی پژوهش‌ها، به نظر می‌رسد پژوهش قانع‌کننده‌ای مبتنی بر منابع اولیه در این زمینه انجام نشده است. همچنین روایت‌های در پیوند با این ترکیب در متون تاریخی دستخوش دگردیسی‌های اساسی شده است. در این پژوهش به روش توصیفی و تحلیلی و با توجه به سبک‌شناسی پیکره‌ای (به‌ویژه در تحلیل روایت یادشده)، ضمن بررسی «تنگری» و «بت/ تب تنگری» ـ به‌ویژه در زبان مغولی و چینی ـ و تحلیل روایت‌های مختلف و در پیوند با ترکیب «تب تنگری»، نشان داده شد که بخش نخست این ترکیب باید به‌شکل «Teb» خوانده شود که در زبان مغولی پیشوندی با معنای مبالغه است و در دیگر واژگان نیز دیده می‌شود. ترکیب «تب تنگری» لقب خاص یکی از شمنان معروف بوده است که چنگیزخان با همدستی او پایه‌های قدرت خود را محکم می‌کند و هنگامی‌که او به‌دنبال سهم خود از قدرت است، با مقدمات فراهم‌شدة چنگیز کشته می‌شود. می‌توان گفت در میان متون تاریخی فارسی، تاریخ وصّاف روایتی با بیشترین عناصر مرتبط با باورهای شمن‌ها را ارائه کرده است.
